Choose one — • Counter target spell if it's blue. • Destroy target permanent if it's blue.

Printings & Editions

Premodern-legal editions of Pyroblast — old-border printings plus any period-appropriate foil promos (Arena/Judge, through Scourge). Hover to preview an edition on the card; click to select it.

Old-border editions + pre-Scourge promo foils (Arena/Judge). Modern-frame reprints (8th Edition onward) exist but are not period-appropriate printings.

Critical Rulings

"The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid."

— 2004-10-04

"Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution."
